Pak Army says Indian military’s lies, propaganda have made it a global laughing stock

The Pakistan Army has strongly criticised the Indian military leadership for repeating what it described as “delusional, fabricated, and provocative propaganda,” stating that the lies being fed to the Indian public and the international audience have turned the “Indian military machine into a laughing stock.”

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) expressed “grave concern” that five months after Marka-e-Haq, and in the run-up to elections in Bihar and West Bengal, Indian military leaders have again begun echoing the same fabricated narratives they routinely repeat before every state election.

The statement came in response to recent remarks by Indian military officials, including the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, who, according to NDTV, claimed that Pakistan suffered more than 100 military casualties during the May conflict.

Refuting the claims, the ISPR clarified that a total of 53 individuals  including 13 members of the armed forces and 40 civilians  were martyred in Indian strikes during the clashes in May.

Meanwhile, India’s Western Army Commander, Lieutenant General Manoj Kumar Katiyar, claimed during a public event that “Pakistan has no capacity to fight India” and even warned of launching “Operation Sindoor 2.0” in response to any future Pahalgam-type attack, reported The Times of India.

New Delhi has repeatedly accused Pakistan of involvement in the deadly attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) that killed several tourists — an allegation strongly rejected by Islamabad, which has instead called for an impartial international investigation.

The ISPR said it was deeply concerning that the military leadership of a nuclear-armed country was issuing such “irresponsible and politically motivated statements,” warning that “unnecessary chest-thumping and jingoistic rhetoric could trigger dangerous consequences for peace and stability in South Asia.”

Highlighting contradictions in the Indian Army’s press briefing, the ISPR said it was not even “worthy of a formal response.”

“The Indian leadership is attempting to rewrite history through outlandish, Bollywood-style narratives,”* the statement said, adding that the Indian Army and political leadership have yet to reconcile with the fact that they were “decisively defeated in Marka-e-Haq”  the May conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours during which Pakistan shot down seven Indian Air Force jets in retaliation to New Delhi’s cross-border aggression.

The military's media wing also assailed India, saying that the world recognises New Delhi "as the true face of cross-border terrorism and the epicentre of regional instability, bent upon adventurism and hegemonism to the detriment of its people and its neighbours".

The ISPR's statement further warned that Pakistan's people and its armed forces are fully capable and committed to defend every inch of our territory with full resolve and "every act of aggression will be dealt with a swift, resolute and intense response that will be remembered by posterity".
